Chapter 124: Equivalent Exchange

"Why did you think so?"

Riser wondered how Xenovia's head jumped to such a conclusion.

"Because you didn't ask me to have sex with you."

Xenovia asked while crying.

"...what?"

"You don't need to lie. I know that compared to your peerage members, I am not that attractive, right? That's why you didn't invite me to be your peerage member, right?"

All of his peerage members were beautiful and cute.

They had their own charm and had always cared for themselves well.

However, what about her?

Xenovia was nothing but a tomboy who only knew how to grow her muscles and swung a holy sword!

How did he find her charming?

If there was a reason why he helped her, then it was all due to pity.

It was all because they were the same, as she also knew the history of the Phenex House.

Due to Riser's words the last time he left the family restaurant after he treated her and Irina to food, Xenovia became curious about the Phenex on the Demonology, and she read it on the Kuoh Library, finding out how the Phenex wished to return to Heaven, yet he was being deceived.

Their fate was similar, and that was why he helped her.

Yet, it was also due to this that she felt afraid of being abandoned.

She wished to do something for him.

However, what could she do?

Instead, he was the one who had always helped him.

Frankly, except for being the holder of Durandal and Excalibur Destruction, she was nothing.

When someone took those two holy swords from her, what did she have?

It was only her body.

Yet, could he find a charm on her body?

Previously, she might have been proud of her body as she didn't have noticeable scars despite fighting many dangerous beings when she was in the church.

However, despite that, he didn't seem to show much interest in her, and even if she knew how many troubles he encountered, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

"You still want to become a devil?"

"Yes!" Xenovia answered without hesitation as she wished to be one so that she could have a connection with him.

"However, I don't think that I am a suitable person as your master."

"No, you are the one who is more suitable!"

"Even so, you should know that my peerage members are full now." Riser gently patted Xenovia's hair, calming her emotion down. "Frankly, I plan to ask my wife to make you her peerage member."

"...your wife? Why? ...do you think I am too weak to become your peerage member?"

As Xenovia had stayed in his villa, she also had seen all of his peerage members, and naturally, they were all strong. While some of them might not be as strong as her in terms of physical abilities, their tricks, varieties of spells, and battle intelligence were all above her.

While she thought that she was stronger, they could crush her easily.

Still, if Riser knew what Xenovia was thinking, he would say that wasn't it natural?

After all, he trained his peerage members and gave them various information, strategies, and tricks with his "Archive Magic," so if they couldn't become stronger, then wasn't his hard work in vain?

"No, it's because I want you to experience school."

"S-School?"

His answer surprised her.

"You are at an age where you should go to school. Moreover, unlike you, who are human, my peerage members aren't human, or most of them are at the age where they have graduated from the school."

Even Ile and Nel, the twin and chainsaw users, were much older than Xenovia. While their appearance might be quite deceiving and make people think of them as little girls, the truth was they were even older than him.

Still, by becoming a devil, one could manipulate their age and appear as young or old as they wished.

Nevertheless, unlike him and his peerage members, Xenovia was a human. He wished for her to enter the school, especially when he could tell that she had never entered one as she was busy spending her time as an exorcist all the time in the church.

"We, the devil, have a long age. When a human dies in their 50s, 60s, or so, we, the devil, will stay alive for ten thousand years or more. Our lives are almost unlimited. It won't be weird to say that we're immortal, so I hope that you can experience many things in your youth, including school.

"...or you don't want to go to school?"

"No... No, I-I am okay with it."

"Then, later, when the time is right, I will ask my wife to make her into a peerage member. She is the student council president of the Kuoh Academy in the human world. When you become part of her peerage member, you will become a student in that school and also a student council president.

"You don't need to worry. She is kind, and I am sure you will enjoy your stay as a student there."

"Why..."

"Why?"

Xenovia couldn't help but feel confused and vexed. "...why were you so kind to me?"

Riser had been so gentle at her, and he also had planned many things for her to make her life comfortable, yet was there something that she could do for him?

The more he gave her, the more she felt vexed and hated herself since she felt that she could give him nothing.

Did he just ask her to take care of his wife?

Even though she knew that Sona might become her future master, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Sona.

However, Riser couldn't help but laugh at Xenovia's naivety.

"Wh-Why did you laugh?"

Xenovia was a little embarrassed and confused since she felt that he had made fun of her.

"No, it's my first time hearing that someone thinks of me, who is a devil, as kind. Moreover, I heard those words from the former exorcist, the servant of the Lord."

Riser smiled. "How could I not laugh?" He gently caressed her cheek and rubbed the green-colored fringe of her hair. The green color of the fringe was kind of charming, especially on her beautiful blue hair.

"I am a devil. I have always insisted on the principle of the equivalent exchange. I have given you something, so isn't it natural for me to wish you to pay me with something equal?"

"B-But I don't have anything..."

What did she have?

She didn't even have a penny on her hands.

As a servant of God, it was impossible for her to expect money.

After all, as the servant of God, it was natural that she was educated that excess wealth was bad for her upbringing due to following the principles of humility and poverty. Moreover, it might make her to have greed as part of her sin, so it was impossible for her to have more than enough money.

Lastly, could her meager income be used to pay for what he had done to her?

Naturally, it's impossible.

"I didn't ask for your money."

Riser was speechless. "Even if you spend so many years working, it is impossible for you to repay me." With her brain, he didn't expect her to be able to make a lot of money.

"Then...?"

As she was confused, he told her how she would repay him, but then her eyes widened as her lips were taken by him.

"....."

She blinked her eyes and was stunned, but then she realized she was kissed!

Her mind was blank as it was her first kiss, and she didn't know what to do.

Only Riser was a good teacher, and he was good at making girls feel good.

Their kiss started with a chaste one, then slowly, it became lewd as they began to play with each other's tongues.

Xenovia didn't expect that doing something lewd was so good, and she quickly abandoned her teaching before she fell into lust. She stuck out her tongue, locked it against his tongue, sucking each other's lips deeply, causing a lewd sound echoed inside the forest.

Yet, knowing no one was beside them, they became even bolder.

Xenovia, who had been hugging him tightly, felt something huge, hard, and hot pressed against her stomach. She felt quite curious and touched, caressed, and held it on her palm up and down, feeling that it wasn't enough.

Her head was so hot, and there was one thing that she wanted to do.

"Can you take my virginity now?"

"....." Riser.

[It's better for you to change the location and set up your tent first before you decide to take her virginity.]

"...." Riser.
